Rockets are in an exciting era, with many launches of astronauts, satellites, and robots for planets. Expect to hear about many commercial companies introducing new light, medium, and heavy rockets in the 2020's decade. Commercial, not NASA, rockets are supplying the International Space Station and launching many satellites. To be competitive, commercial rockets are experimenting with cost saving designs, like self landing re-usable boosters, like hybrid-fuel engines, like piggy backing on an airplane before igniting the rockets. Instead of being a taxi service to the International Space Station, government rockets from NASA and traditional large aeronautic companies are focusing on going to the Moon and Mars. NASA is free to focus on running missions in the Space Station, building robots to explore Mars, and developing plans to have people live on Mars and the Moon.
